  • The fastest way to get to Segovia is by AVE high-speed train from Chamartín Station.
  • You can take the light blue Line 1 or dark blue Line 10. 
  • The train ride takes only 30 minutes. Keep in mind that the train station is located outside the city center, so you’ll have to take a taxi to Segovia’s Azoguejo Square.
